Clinical Consultation skills CPD from RPS & RCGP

Sign up for your free RPS CPD

From October 2020 we’re running free Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS) training courses for community pharmacists across England.

Run in partnership with the Royal College of General Practitioners, you’ll be shown exactly how to manage these referrals. But more importantly, you’ll practice how to manage CPCS referrals in real-life situations with GPs and other healthcare professionals.

CHOOSE YOUR SESSIONS

Pharmacists across England are increasingly working with professionals across sectors, on a range of services. Through the NHS CPCS, pharmacists are providing clinical diagnosis for patients with minor illness.

You may have seen some of these consultations already: patients who previously would have seen a GP. Through CPCS, these valuable consultations are going to become more and more common.

When is the CPD?

Free CPCS sessions are only available online due to COVID-19.

Taught during the day and in the evening, these twin sessions mean you'll be taught the skills, put them into practice and get feedback from GPs, Advanced Nurse Practitioners and other Allied Health Professionals.

CPPE e-course

Complete the CPPE e-course before attending the online sessions; look for the materials marked significant - these need to be completed before attending.

The e-course has 10-12 hours of learning, but you can revisit and complete these after the online workshop, and use it as a resource to keep you up to date.
